Effective July 1, 2009, players must be NASPA members to play in sanctioned tournaments. The cost and benefits of membership will be evaluated and may be changed at the end of 2009.

First-time tournament players may buy either a full NASPA membership or a trial six-month membership (US$15) through their tournament organizer. If they opt for a trial membership, they have the option to extend it to a full membership by sending in an additional $15 at any time during the six-month trial period.
First-time tournament players who reside in Canada have the option of purchasing a six-month trial membership for $17.25 Canadian. Send a cheque or money order made out to "John Robertson" to 17 Fourth Avenue, Cambridge, ON, N1S 2C9.
The main current benefits of membership are:
More benefits will be added as the NASPA Membership Committee prepares them.
In addition, players who join NASPA before July 1 will receive low-numbered membership numbers, a visible demonstration of their support for our nascent organization. Players who have a specific number that they want for their membership number may obtain it by paying a higher membership fee of US$50, provided the number is still available.
Members will be required to comply with a Code of Conduct, which is currently available for preview in draft form, and which took effect on July 1, 2009.
As of April 6, 2009, the NASPA membership database is now online, and may be used to verify a person’s membership status.
NASPA membership numbers consist of AA followed by six digits, and are normally assigned in sequential order. Members may request larger numbers out of sequence by paying $50 rather than $30 for their membership.
Committee members pay the same fees as regular members, but are recognized with special membership numbers beginning with “CM”; regular members have numbers beginning with “AA”. Membership numbers CM000001–CM000016 are reserved for Steering Committee members.
A refund policy is currently being discussed and will be determined by the Membership Committee.
In order to keep track of your membership, we need to record information about you. How we handle this information is described in our Privacy Policy.
